Done. The script reproduces the problem on two machines. One of my colleagu=
es also has the problem on a third machine.

Here is the output from my work machine:

  CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warn=

I did as you asked and the problem still occurs. When we originally came ac=
ross this we were using Cygwin paths.

The output:

802593373 AT BTG245549 /cygdrive/c/svn-test-exe
$ svn list file:////cygdrive/c/svn-test-repo
Text Document.xxx
